About
A 16x16 graphics set for DF2012 (v0.34.11v01). It focuses on consistency and stylized realism to harmonize the different tiles and give a more "medieval" atmosphere to the game. Unlike other tilesets, this also specifically sets aside different tiles for grass with modifications to their graphics raws. This makes it easier to distinguish pasturable areas from bare rock and sand, tell apart different biomes, as well as letting you plan green (or blue, if you're going with cave moss) gardens along your entrance halls. Just make sure to forbid traffic on it to avoid trampling them to bare ground.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or problems, please don't hesitate to tell me about them. This is based on Phoebus' Graphics Set

To install, unzip the file, then simply copy and paste the contents of the folder into the DF directory and overwrite when prompted. You may want to back it up first.

Note that this set is also pre-bundled along with the Lazy Newb Pack (Windows version, Linux version), and the MacNewbie Pack (Mac users).

Credits:
You can use this tileset any way and anywhere you like. Credits to me and the others listed below would be appreciated however.


Phoebus, whose tileset serves as the base for all of this. Sphr, NW Kohaku, Jiri Petru, Kafine, Bane, Magnut, and Deon for the creature and animal tiles (which have mostly not been changed). Ironhand from whom I took some background rock tiles. Darkond and Hermano whose work serves as the base for most of the finished goods and furniture tiles. Meph and Deon who originated the idea for animated grass tiles. PeridexisErrant and fricy for including these in the LNP and MNP. Most characters use the free Dalelands font by Neale Davidson, width-adjusted to at least give the illusion of proper kerning and letter spacing with square tiles. Symbols are mostly retained from Phoebus' tileset. And thank you to everyone who provided help and feedback in my original thread. If I missed anyone, please PM me so I can add your name here. Thanks.
